Bonus Event

Bonus Events are special time-limited events that last one week. The current Event is selected through a rotating schedule of seven different Bonus Events, each granting a passive bonus to a particular game activity and offering a once-per-event quest with a noteworthy reward for accomplishing a related goal.

The schedule for current and future Bonus Events can be viewed through the in-game calendar. Players can also find the current Event and accept any special quests through the Adventure Guide. All Bonus Events except Timewalking Events grant players a special buff for the duration, which can be moused over to reveal the current bonus.

Types

Timewalking

There are four different Timewalking Bonus Events: One for content from The Burning Crusade, one for content from Wrath of the Lich King, one for content from Cataclysm and one for content from Mists of Pandaria. Completing three Timewalking dungeons as a part of a special quest during the Event will award a Seal for an extra bonus roll, which isn’t counted toward the weekly cap of three Seals.

Battle for Azeroth dungeons

During this Bonus Event, the final boss of each Battle for Azeroth dungeon will award an extra item upon defeat.

Notes

When patch 7.0.3 was released, the usual schedule was replaced for the final run-up to Legion: Timewalking (BC, WotLK, Cata), Apexis, and Draenor dungeons. The final bonus event concluded one week before the launch of the Legion expansion. Bonus events did not start up again until September 27, 2016, when an updated Arena Skirmish began.

In Legion, the Draenor Dungeons event was replaced by Legion Dungeons, and Apexis replaced by World Quests.

With the release of patch 8.0.1, the schedule remained unchanged but otherwise generally followed Legion precedent: No bonus events in the two weeks prior to launch of Battle for Azeroth, and beginning again five weeks later with Battle for Azeroth Dungeons on September 11, 2018.

Legion dungeons

Apexis Crystals

During this Event, eligible creatures will drop extra Apexis Crystals. Completing three area assault objectives during the Event will award the player with additional Oil for use in the garrisonshipyard.

Warlords of Draenor dungeons

During this Bonus Event, players will earn reputation with an appropriate faction upon defeating enemies in any Draenor dungeon. Completing four Mythic-difficulty Warlords dungeons as a part of a special quest during the Event will award a Heroic Hellfire Citadel Raid cache.
